Warrington-based eCommerce and specialist mail services firm The Delivery Group has announced its entry into the pallet market via a partnership with established pallet freight experts Pallet-Track.

The partnership represents the latest example of The Delivery Group’s continued investment in infrastructure and services as it looks to expand the range of tailored delivery solutions within its portfolio.

Pallet freight is a significant growth market, with the Association of Pallet Networks (APN) forecasting the delivery of 28.5 million pallets by its members in 2019, an increase of 6.7% on 2018 figures. Established in 2004, Pallet-Track is a recognised market leader and the Wolverhampton-based firm has seen a five-fold increase in freight volume in as many years.

Under the terms of the partnership, The Delivery Group becomes a Pallet-Track shareholder member, utilising the company’s national network for collections and trunking access throughout the UK.
